I'll definitely look for that sand, thank you for the suggestion! As for her supplementation, she gets Rep-Cal calcium powder dusted on her feeders daily and ReptoCal and ExoTerra's Multi-Vitamin powder dusted on feeders every other Friday. The gut load is usually cricket crack for the...

Thank you, MSMorgan! Oddly enough, about 10 minutes after I posted this thread, I looked over and watched her eat two of the crickets. I'll keep the crickets out for now and stick to the hornworms and superworms. I'm going to order some phoenix worms soon too. Just to clarify though, she...

Wow, I love it! I'm definitely going to have to look around for stuff to make my own little weighing helper. Thanks to those that have given suggestions on how to weigh my girl :)

I am so sorry for making another post. Claudia has been giving me a heck of a time as a Cham owner the last few days. First, she slowed down her eating considerably. She still eats, just not nearly as much as she was and she's sworn off crickets entirely. She still goes to town on hornworms and...

That is amazing! I bet Claudia would love something like that, I'll have to use your picture as a reference and try to make one of my own :D

That's a good idea! I tried like four different bowls, thinking "Oh, she won't be able to climb outta this one!" But every time she'd hoist herself right on out lol. She's a strong one. I'll see if I can dig up a few branches to use. Thanks for the suggestion!

I went and picked up a food scale at Walmart this afternoon to start weekly weigh-ins for Claudia. A little extra info before today's weight in numbers. The last time she was weighed was about two months ago at the vet, where she was just about 50g. I had some trouble getting her to stay...

If you can't feed it anything live then it's probably not a good idea to own a chameleon.

I tried to offer her a banana once but she didn't seem interested in it. I'll try again though with some greens and strawberries. Maybe bananas just weren't her thing :)

Update: It seems to be more that Claudia has suddenly become a shy eater. I didn't try crickets today, just to continue to give her that break, but I gave her a couple of hornworms and the last of her superworms and each time I would be in the room, she wouldn't eat. As soon as I walked out of...

I'm definitely worried something is wrong. I've got her cage covered again, wondering if she's getting ready to lay but there's no evidence of her having been in her laying bin at all. That said, she did just chow down on a superworm before I covered up her cage. It really just seems to be...

Well, it seems that Claudia has finally tired of her daily dose of crickets. They were her staple food since I got her in June and suddenly, about two days ago, she really wasn't too thrilled with eating them. She had some, but not all (and she usually inhales them), and has really wanted little...

Sounds like a plan. She still isn't quite right today and it's really making me nervous. Has no interest in crickets and only went for one small hornworm. She's very restless, climbing all over the screen of her cage but she has no interest at all in the laying bin. It's there, I have a towel...

Sure do. She still isn't showing much interest in it, but it's there for her. I'm definitely thinking this semi-hunger-strike may be egg related. Or she's just getting older and doesn't need as much food as she did when she was small, I don't know.

Haha! What a cutie!

Thanks, folks! She's had me a little nervous today. She didn't want to eat earlier, but later on ate a hornworm and three crickets, which made me feel a bit better. Still nervous though, as always since I'm a worry wart.

Went to Claudia's cage this morning and opened it up to adjust one of the mister's nozzles and she climbed right out onto my hand to hang out. I had her climbing around on my bed for a bit and decided it was the perfect chance for a photo op. Not sure she was very fond of my phone in her face...

Beautiful! I love seeing happy chams :)

They grow very quickly, especially if where they're at is on the warmer side. I just got a cup of hornworm eggs delivered on Tuesday. Many of them hatched yesterday, some hatched today, which was great because it really emphasized how quickly they grow. The Wednesday hatches were significantly...

He is amazing! Wow! I am getting the itch for a second cham, and I would definitely welcome one of these little guys into my home.
